Thanks guys. Any thoughts of how we can improve these compilations? I suggest maybe for comparison sake and for information purposes adding other aftermarket performance mods which might include:
  1. 3.91 Differentials
  2. Throttle Bodies
  3. ECU Software Tuning
  4. Pulleys
  5. Lowering Spings / Suspensions
Gustav, is there any way possible you can keep my post open for editing a bit longer to add further compilations?

HEY KOOL-AID!!!!!!!

We really should re-title this "MUST HAVE RPI MODS". I am aslo a huge fan of RPI and would always look there as one of the first stops for any mod. However, wouldn't it make more sense to break these out by category only instead of listing all the RPI products first and seperately? that would be more helpful for soeone looking for an unbiased collection of information.

Thank you for your feedback and bringing this point up.
I believe my message for this thread wasn't perceived the way I wanted it to be. Apparently it was misleading for some fellow members. I do apologize for the confusion. Although I haven't dealt with other reputable tuners like ASR, Dinan, Evosport ...I do have great respect for them and believe each tuner has his own strengths as well as weaknesses. If you re-read my post you will see that "The Must have Mods" are based on my personal experience which were 7, of which 1 wasn't an RPI Product (Sprint Booster).

I will try to rename this thread to “Aftermarket Performance Mods” and amend the contents. It will be one of the biggest compilation including the most common aftermarket products like Exhausts, Intakes, NOS, Strokers, 3.91 Differentials, Throttle Bodies, ECU Software Tuning, Pulleys, Lowering Springs / Suspensions and more…
Let me see what I can come up with. Thank you once again for your suggestions.

Kelster I agree with you. But what I don't understand is that I've already did a preview and none of the smileys showed up May be it has to do something with my Apple Powerbook software
